Don't feed the cats (and consequently the chickens) your kitchen scraps on the deck picnic table, all winter long. Because come Spring, when the weather is nice and you want to have your own picnic on that same picnic table, the cats (and consequently the chickens) won't make the connection that now this is YOUR picnic table and this food is not THEIR scraps, but YOUR lunch.

Congratulations to all the winners! I always have a love/hate relationship with giveaway posts because I wish I had something for everyone!

Winners, please send me an email with your contact info so I can pass it on!

Note to self:

We used to let our chickens run around the house and yard, but they’d poop all over the side step! People would track it into the house! Difficult time training the husband! Now we’ve trained the chickens to stay in their pen…their pen is huge now…Dilema…free range chickens & where to let them free range?

I laughed out loud at your photo. Our girls are everywhere in our backyard. Admittedly, it’s a postage stamp, but they definitely pop up where they are wanted, and not wanted. Something about my painted toes gets them going. 😉
